Knox County

I stand corrected from a few months ago..
I was told Knox County would wait to be rebanded and go digital safe-t....Apparently they are going to totally abandon their existing system and use the State equipment?
They are also going to remain ANALOG...wow....I guess the State is sympathetic in that they have an a$$ load of analog radios already in service. Every volunteer fireman, cop, emt, has a radio.
I was under the impression they were going to connect their system to the State but guess not since safe-t is on the air on a different tower. This came straight from the guy reprogramming Knox Co's radios.

Interesting.. So all the frequencies are going to change to the SAFE-T system? Doesn't Vincennes site only have 3 frequencies on the SAFE-T system, vs their 6 now?

yup...only 3 channels on the air but they have a tower at Edwardsport that will pick up some of the slack and the Monroe City area will probably affliate with Petersburg most of the time.

Did they give a time frame for the transfer?
